All I can say is look for Zachary. He is on his "A" Game. He will get you your drink, he will create a drink to your liking. He will give you your space, or enjoy your company. He is VERY good and professional at his job. The place was slow early on the evening we stayed. He kept the bar open even though he could have gone home. A hour later a wedding party filled the place. I had asked a local about visiting a potentially less expensive bar in the area. Thank goodness, I did not follow through at plan. Very comfortable with a great view of the Harbor. There is no view at the local place.

Everything delivered was a vague approximation of what was ordered, chicken was tougher than a hockey puck, appetizers arrived at same time as entrees. Missing elements on every dish. Finished eating before a 2 bite check back even occurred. Incredibly disappointing for the price point. Only went because we were staying in the hotel. Spend your money on delivery instead.

Came in this evening for Charm City Trivia night. What we found was delightful. Small crowd, but a great time for everyone there. The food was simply yummy. Drinks were perfectly made. Service was friendly and perfectly attentive without being over bering. Looking forward to the game next week already.

This place was not what I expected. I decided to check it out from the news advertisement along with the Holly JollyTrolly ride. The food presentation was not the reality of what you will receive when you order at the restaurant. It was empty the bartender was nice and conversing with customers but food was not great and if you decide to go to this restaurant make sure you valet park or you will have to pay $16.00 for parking. The decision to go to this restaurant was most definitely a lost on my part.

Cool decor, reasonable food, nice staff. Pretty standard hotel restaurant, and not really a destination of any sort. They are open late so I would say definitely an above average later dinner option. The buffalo cauliflower was a bit salty but tasty. Hummus was normal. My partner had an above average burger. The drinks are strong.

Kelly served us our first breakfast, and Deborah our second. Marcus helped us select an evening dessert and our wines. Tevin provided great help as well regarding serving and clearing. Our food was well portioned, delicious, and served in a fair amount of time-- quality food does not pop out of a freezer pr microwave. Thank you to all of the men and women who helped us enjoy good food and service on our vacation. We appreciate you.

The "gastropub" did not live up to its name on any level. The espresso machine was not working the 4 days we were there, so it was plain ol' bitter coffee. The sumptuous pastries advertised were plastic-wrapped donuts, sad-looking apple fritters, and slabs of flavorless banana bread, among other baked goods. They did sell an impressively large bacon, egg & cheese on a croissant, but the bacon was limp & undercooked. Explorers' seemed like the coffee shop you'd find in your dentist's office building. Disappointing!

A hotel restaurant. Good service, good coffee. Ordered two appetizers, The Thai Castle. Excellent,yummy The charcouterrie, cuts of classic meats and cheese. The meets tasted fishy! Sent it back. Dinner. Seared Rockfish... 30$ the fish was a bit old... the sauce overwhelmed the fish did not compliment it. Serious let down Vegetarian Gnochi. Good.. but nothing special For a hundred dollar meal overall it was not worth it but was tired after a long day so it filled the hole. Would not recommend... no telling what you will get.

We only had drinks, but the staff was pleasant and the atmosphere was nice.

Staff was very courteous, and the food and drinks were prepared and served well. However, some of the food was very overpriced, wait times were long, and hotel did not have adequate staff hired to receive and manage guests in a timely manner.

Great staff and a very cool building with interesting history and locals/regulars. Excellent service from Sagy! A bit limited of a menu if you’re vegetarian, but decent bites all considered.

Food was ok but service abysmal.

Visited baltimore 2 weeks ago for 5 year anniversary with my lovely wife...Wanted some drinks didn't want a real crazy night out so went to the hotel bar located in the royal sonesta hotel. The staff was extremely friendly and Zack...he's was excellent! The only thing I can say is the theme was a bit confusing and the space was utilized in an extremely foolish way considering the market. I think a fun, unbeat, more hip bar overlooking the waterfront would be much more lucrative and more enjoyable to hotel patrons. I didn't feel like I was dying in the bar, I felt like I was dead already...That's how our dated it was! Despite this downfall the service was excellent and I would no doubt return just because of the Service

Great bartenders, nice atmosphere! The hours on Google are wrong. Was here at 6pm on Tuesday.

Frozen food, microwaved, no crab in the crab soup, I’m sure the bar is fine…don’t eat here!
